Amy,
Refresh my memory. If I remember correctly you were on a benzo at one point in time? Did it reduce your irritability? Which benzo? You’re not on it now, right? Just Lamictal monotherapy, correct?
And you also tried Neurontin, right? Did that reduce your irritability? Why did you quit?
Sorry to ask all these questions that I'm sure I've asked you before, but I have a hard time keeping everyone's medication history straight in my mind. At one point I started to keep track of some of the poster's dx and Rx histories in Word documents. But the problem is that it is too time consuming to track these data for everyone, and I do not know in advance which posters I am going to stay in contact with for extended periods of time and, therefore, I don't know which poster's data to track.
I can relate to your irritability issues. I hate the feeling and I hate the hurtful words I say to people in my life when I am in a dysphoric mood state.
What have you found over the years that help to reduce your irritability?
-- Ron
PS Do you smoke cigarettes? If so, how much?
